Deep Ruby with aromas of red and black fruits with spicy notes. On the palate simple flavors of cherry and currants with sweet spice. Medium finish ending with spicy character. Ok value. Tasting Sample!

Medium ruby color. Aromas and flavors of black cherry/currant/plum with heavy does of vanilla (makes the wine seem a bit sweet) and baking spices. Touch of freshly turned soil on the finish. Full bodied and rich. Lighter than expected when it comes to acidity. Fresh tasting and quite generous. Revisited in June 2024. More notes of oak (chips) and imitation vanilla. Reducing my rating.

Peppery, with well balanced tannins, and primary notes of chocolate covered cherries.

Pinot noir in a ripe style. Pronounced strawberry and a vinegar note on the nose. Nice heft on the palate - juicy and satisfying. Not subtle, but nonetheless excellent at $18.
